Room was great. Staff had cookies when we checked in. We had strived to get there right at 3:00 to check in and get a swim in. That was a “No Go”. The pool was filthy. Trash floating in it. Water was foggy green. Not inviting at all. Most facilities have Diamond parking by the front door. This location had Diamond parking about as far from the door as possible.
